6. I am happy that Congress did finally stand up...

...and develop a spine.

However, my enthusiasm is tempered by the fact that DPW took the action--not the pResident.

It was the UAE-government owned company who stood up and said that they would sell the American portion of the deal to an American company.

Our pResident (that scum-sucking human meatball) should have been the leader on this one, and the one to insist that this deal could not happen without the support of "We the People". He should have explained to the UAE that the will of the American people was tantamount--and no deal.

Unfortunately, a foreign government was the voice of reason. That has me dismayed.
